IMPROVEMENT IN TRAvia'LIIvGr BELT-STOP :PoR MAc-INERY.

` Schiedulerefen'ed `to in` these Letter-s Patent and making'part of thesame.

To allchom it may concern:

o Be it known that I, THOMAS EDWIN BADEN, of Washington, Washingtoncounty, Distrietof' Columbia, have Invented a new-and useful Travelingor Rotating `Belt or Band-Stop ibrMachinery; and I hereby declare `thefollowing to be zit-full and exact description thereol",

reference being liadto the accoinpanying drawing forming part ofthisspecification.

The nature or essence of my invention consists in a slotted stand,provided with apawjl o'r cam arranged to stop andholdatraveling,orrotating band, it'4 it is v `moved backward or in thewrong direction, and allow 'In to move forward again freelyin the rightdirection.

Also, in making a notch in thepawl lorcam Vto adapt it'to round bands'.I In the accompanying drawing-fy y.

Figure lshows the upper side and edgeof a stand witltpawl` or cam Figure2fisa` end view ofthesame; and Figure 3, ,the nndeisideo'f thepawl orcatn'.-` I In the drauingL--` w 1 4 v, A is a stand, 1which I prefer tomnkej offmetal, in

*the form shown, with three screW-holesfB B, for

screws to fasten Vit to thennderside of. -a Vtable or sewing-machine, orother article, where it is wanted to be used.`

' At ,one end of this stand I make two'arms, C and D, in thejform showning. 2, with a slot or space, E,

I between them fol'rthe `pawl or cam'F,'which islnade inthe form` shown,with `a bead, G, at one edge, titted to work freely'in the cavity H intheartn D, to allow4 the pawl to vibrate freely, and fall or lay againstthe traveling or rotating belt I, to allow the belty to pass npor in thedirection of' theV arrow freely, while a very slight motion in acontrary direction of the belt will bring the pawl F down,and press the.be'lt against the arm C and stop it instantly, and prevent it fromheilig moved further in the wrong direction, but a very slight Iovementofthe band in the direction of thev arrow,

releases the gripe ofthe pawl, and permits the belt to run freely in theright direction.

I make a not-eh or score, J in the pawlF, as shown in=iigs. 1 and-3, toadapt the pawl to ronnd as well as flat-t bands. Y Y j My improvedbelt-stopper may be applied to any maebineryor millwright work, where itis desimble'to preventiva belt from moving backward, orin the wrongdirection.

Havingdescribed my invention, I will state my claim as-follows:

v llhe belt-snip desexibed,vconsisting of the stand A,

havingan arm,-G, and grooved arm D, with a detachable serrated pziwl, F,having a bead, G, and provided with a notch, J, when required, combined,and oper-A ating snbstantiallyes and for. the vpurpose set fort-l1.`
